If you guys have $400 to spend, the Stoeger M3020 is the funnest little inertia shotgun you can get. It's a magic wand in 28", and ours have never bobbled on anything ever. The fact that we've never lubed, cleaned, or maintained it is a nice touch too.

This is the best deal I've seen on a Benelli in years.
Benelli Montefeltro 12Ga Shotgun w/ Hunter’s Package $699.99 Light, slender, and quick-pointing never described a semi-auto better than the Benelli Montefeltro 12-gauge shotgun. The Inertia Driven® system in these Benelli shotguns requires no springs or gas cylinder under the forend. That allows the Montefeltro’s forend to be slim and graceful, while the lightweight, anodized aluminum receiver keeps weight to a minimum. This shotgun is a classic game gun with the advantages of a semi-automatic and features Crio barrel, bolt-lock lever, removable trigger assembly, and a red bar front sight. **A Dunn’s exclusive special, the Benelli Montefeltro with Surecycle bolt handle and Hevi Shot Choke.** ![[Linked Image]](https://shopdunns.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/32/2019/06/Benelli_Montefeltro_12_Ga_3_inch_MOssy_Oak_Shadow_Grass_Blades_10821.jpeg) https://shopdunns.com/product/benel...?mc_cid=b4b78ae7b1&mc_eid=0ff9e9e9cc Thanks for that.....definitely too good to pass up!!

I recently picked up a 20ga Montefeltro Silver in excellent condition. One ported barrel, one standard. One high-grade AA walnut stock, one Comfortec stock (not that it needs it).
With all that's going on at home, I haven't had time to even take it out against a few clay targets.
Won't be long before quail and grouse season opens in Nevada, but if anyone wants to buy it, it hasn't become my favorite yet. Just realize it's going to cost a good deal more than the 12ga shown above.

If only they had the same deal on a 20. Or a lefty! This ^^^^^^ +1. Seems to be a pattern here. Have had a LH SBE for about 5 years. My only shotgun. Mostly duck hunting and a few rounds of sporting clays. Zero issues. Finally got it properly set up for a south paw over the winter. Had an informal shoot here on the farm back in May. Felt kinda bad cleaning up on the grand kids and grand son-in-laws... Not really... While the 12ga SBE does just fine, would not mind trying a lighter, handier, 20ga version similar to what I already have. Camo would be a plus, but, not a deal breaker.

I've had a 12 ga. MF with 26" barrel for several years and it points great. Baretta is a little softer and probably would stand up to competition better but the MF is nice. If you want 20 performance just shoot 1 oz loads.

If you want 20 performance just shoot 1 oz loads. Most 20 gauge shotguns are dimensionally smaller and weigh less. Handling and carrying characteristics are different.

The 12 ga versions are definitely built on a larger frame. Still, though, they are very light for a 12 ga and nice handling shotguns. My 20 ga Montefeltro has almost no recoil to speak of.

I have two H&K marked M1S90's in 12 gauge that have been flawless for the 25 or so years I've hunted them. A 20 gauge M2 or a Monty would be nice to have around.

Reviews say it jams, recoil is harsh and shooting it a lot will cause thumb pain? Anyone experiencing these issues?

Yes, if you don't allow it to hit your shoulder well, then it cannot function.
Yes, if you shoot monster magnums through it.
Yes, if you cannot figure out how to load without catching your thumb on the carrier.
All common "problems" that don't take much brainpower to solve. I would still buy a used M2 or SBEII at that price.
